Through the enactment of House Bill 3560, 80th Legislature, 2007,
the Governor and the Legislature have directed that the Texas Building
and Procurement Commission (TBPC) divide its duties and responsibilities
between its successor agency, the Texas Facilities Commission (TFC),
and the Comptroller of Public Accounts (Comptroller). All powers and
duties of TBPC that relate to the following areas will be performed
by TFC: charge and control of state buildings, grounds, or property;
maintenance or repair of state buildings, grounds, or property; construction
of a state building; purchase or lease of buildings, grounds, or property
by or for the state; child care services for state employees; and
surplus and salvage property. All other powers and duties of TBPC
will be transferred to the Comptroller, including statewide procurement;
training and compliance; statewide HUB program; travel procurement;
fleet management; and support services.

Effective September 1, 2007, the name of the Texas Building and
Procurement Commission has been changed to the Texas Facilities Commission.
As of September 1, 2007, the name of Title 1, Part 5 of the Texas Administrative Code is the Texas Facilities
Commission, but the rule numbers and names under the part will remain
the same.
